Perdición (Better, 2)

For Vanessa and Thomas, loving each other has never been easy. Their relationship is doomed to a precarious balance between ecstasy and ruin. Gazing at a star-filled sky or finding refuge in a treehouse isn't enough; the feeling that binds them is forged from passionate nights and ferocious jealousy, flashes of romance, and seemingly insurmountable misunderstandings. After nearly losing each other, things between them finally seem to be improving. For the first time, Thomas opens up to Vanessa, revealing the ghosts that haunt him. A tragic loss in his past transformed him into the angry, melancholic young man he is today, a broken soul who rejects any human connection. But even this newfound closeness doesn't seem to be enough, because the suffering that grips him runs too deep. As Thomas spirals into self-destruction, Vanessa begins spending time again with Logan, the kind—perhaps too kind—college classmate who is in love with her. Logan seems to be the only one who understands Vanessa and is willing to give her the support she needs. Will that be enough to make Thomas react? Can there be a happy ending for two hearts in conflict?
